One piece of advice. Dump sendmail and go for Qmail (http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html). Qmail is known to perform well under extreme high loads and is most suited for a large userbase.Gmail and Yahoo run their mail servers with Qmail.Isnt this more than enough to support Qmail? Its also the most secure MTA.The guy who created Qmail (D. J. Bernstein ) gave a security guarantee (http://cr.yp.to/qmail/guarantee.html) which hasen't been claimed by anyone yet. -- Sharjeel http://www.sharjeelsayed.tk http://www.sharjeel.co.nr http://www.sharjeel.us.tt/ ***Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linuxvadapav/messages ***Group Usage Guidelines (Please Read): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linuxvadapav/files/mailing_rules Yahoo!
